Gardeners' Notes:

I live in Overland Park, KS, which is in eastern Kansas and close to the Missouri border. I planted Bush's Poppy Mallow in partial sun and average garden soil three years ago and has thrived ever since. It is both drought as well as fairly moisture tolerant, although in my experience prefers the former versus the latter from a flower blooming perspective. This plants sprawls throughout the garden, and interlaces itself among other plants, especially taller ones which supports its ability to grow vertically. It's beautiful magenta flowers with white to ecru stamens blooms from spring through late summer, and adds sustainable color throughout these seasons. I have not found these to be invasive from a re-seeding standpoint.
